<p>
* <strong>Ctrl-G</strong>  Works on some Windows systems (depending on graphic driver)
</p>

<p>
* <strong>MAC Cmd+A</strong>  overrides standard “Select all text in current text box”, might possibly be able to change to Ctrl+Cmd+A in next version.
</p>

<p>
* <strong>Spacebar</strong>  Drops Marker at current GPS position NOTE: This must be enabled by manual edit of the opencpn.ini file. [Settings] …”SpaceDropMark=1”, to activate this feature. [Settings] …“SpaceDropMark=0” deactivates the feature.
</p>

<p>
NOTE: This list may not be completely detailed and correct for now, but it does try to establish all the shortcuts available.
</p>

<p>
We may need to add some things to Caesar&#039;s Functional and tabular list to make it more complete. Please contribute ideas and corrections/improvements!
